.... Don't Let The Bedbugs Bite

This ought to give you the creeps when you tuck into bed tonight;

A man in Malaysia put centipedes and other bugs in his neighbor's bed after an argument they had.

Ewww!

That must've been some argument!

Well, sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite. Bwa-ha-ha-ha!!!!

In other news:

Happy Halloween to everyone!

Nothing to post about the holiday yet.

I stayed home from work today to bake cupcakes for a party Hotness and I are going to tonight.

Right now I'm about to get showered and shaved so I can get into my costume.

I'll have a report and pictures (maybe even video) of tonight's happenings this weekend.

Have a great Hallow's Eve.

Toilet Paper

Wow!

That's a crapload of toilet paper!

Question Answered: It Was The Chicken

It's an age-old question; "Which came first? The chicken or the egg?"

You can't have the one without the other, so you go round and round about which was first.

Well thanks to China and their lax regulations on food safety, it has now been determined that the chicken came first.

After all, you can't feed the egg toxins, you have to feed it to the chicken in order for it to lay contaminated eggs. Therefore the chicken HAD to come first.

I'm not going to go off on too much of a rant here. It's a troubling issue, to be sure.

However, when the U.S. and other nations were receiving contaminated pet food from China, this didn't seem like that big a deal to them. Oh sure, they were sorry and apologized and assured us it "would never happen again" because they were going to institute tighter control in their factories.

But then reports started coming out about melamine-tainted milk in China and the thousands of children who were sick from drinking it.

Then suddenly it became a safety issue they were concerned with.

I recently bought some Del Monte fruit cups to put in our lunches and I noticed that they were manufactured in China.

These were diced peaches, to be exact. The kind of fruit that grows naturally in the United States and what the state of Georgia is famous for.

But these were from China.

I wrote an email to customer affairs at Del Monte and asked; "Why would they import a food product that grows naturally here in the states. One that would keep jobs in the U.S. and wouldn't come from a country with 'suspect' food regulations and manufacturing processes?"

They 'assured' me that they enforce strict control in areas of the manufacturing process to maintain a high quality and safe product.

Blah blah blah... yeah sure. So how come this shit is STILL happening over there?

If everybody is enacting such "strict controls" on manufacturing in China, you'd think it would be the SAFEST place on the planet for products.

Don't Taze Me Bro

Luckily I didn't have to learn this first-hand, but some unlucky police officers in Dallas found out the hard way.

Tasers don't work on raccoons.

(Que the theme music from Benny Hill now)

After running around the house with police in hot pursuit, the raccoon turned and that's when they shot him with the taser probes. After which he run up the chimney with the probes still stuck in his back totally unfazed and made his escape.

This has happened before apparently, but doesn't seem to be in any of the police training manuals regarding when to use them effectively.

My Unofficial Poll

Well, my Three Stooges poll was a SMASHING success!
From it, I can tell that... uh, some dudes like the Three Stooges... and so do some girls.
But then some guys don't like 'em... and neither do girls.

But if I do some some math here.... Let's see... X / 15 + (-3 x Y) = ???

Hmmm....
It would appear that 150% of guys like the Three Stooges, as compared to 150% of guys who don't.
And it's a three-way tie among women viewers.

(Thanks to all of you who voted!)
